Marcum struggled yet again, allowing five runs in 4 2/3 innings, the second start in a row he has allowed more runs than innings pitched. He surrendered the five runs on six hits and four walks, the latter being a season-worst mark.
Marcum struck out six batters in the outing, while throwing 55 of 96 pitches for strikes. His ERA rose to 5.76, while his record fell to 0-9.
